We have a problem with our mondeo 2.0 tdci estate on an 03 plate. The glow plug light comes on sometimes when driving along then a minute or so later yhr engine cuts out.We have to turn the ignition off,wait a few seconds then it starts ok.This problem is totally random. Two days after we got the car the crankshaft sensor packed up and was replaced,that was 2 months ago,all the latest probs have have been in the last month.Any help would be appreciated.

Ady and Tracy Figures. we own a Mk 3 mondeo estate 2.0 tdci on a 03 plate,and it has 120000 on the clock. This is our third mondeo,last on was a 1.8 zetec hatch on a W plate, the first was a 2.0 litre GLX estate 1995. This was a great car which was a good work horse and a bit battered when we p/ex'd it for the Mk 2 hatch. The latest mondeo is a diesel, our first. We live in Street ,Somerset, home of Clarks shoes [color:blue][/color]

Its having the cam sensor done next week but phoned up the car dealer in Bristol just to make sure it was the crank sensor they replaced in May and they said "oh no, it was the cam sensor they changed" when they catagorically told us it was the crank sensor, grrrrrrr!!!!!!
I took a look at the sensor myself and it dont look new to me !
Dont some dealers really **** you off :annoyed:

Had the cam sensor changed today for a brand new one unlike the sensor it replaced which was not new and I asked my ford garage for the faulty sensor so I could see for myself. My wife noticed the car running smoother and I sensed an improvement. Fingers crossed this is now sorted.

Oh dear,its started to "cough" again and the glow plug flashes. Had the new cam sensor done last week but when my wife was driving it yesterday then again today it did it again !She was changing from 2nd to 3rd doing about 30mph when it "coughed",and had to stop,turn off then restart.This frightens her especially on the school run.
Is it worth changing the crank sensor and checking the EGR valve and where are they located please. :annoyed:

Here's an update.
The car went back into the ford garage today due to the car cutting out on me on sunday, then it did it again sunday night.
I made a note of what happened every time to give the garage some clues.
Was put on diagnostics and they reckon that it's the ENGINE WIRING LOOM.
This seems plausable, so we are going to bite the bullet and have it changed,total cost around Â£380 but should get it back on the warranty.
